been pleas 5 d to publifh very confpicuous Proofs in the Hiftories 
of Plants. Birds, Fifties, and perhaps may do more in Infers. 
The Defign of this prefcnt Work, intended for a Manual 
or Pocket-Bock, is to reduce all Quadrupeds into the moft 
proper and natural -Method, for the more eafie Comprehend- 
on and Memory of them ; and to add to the feveral Species 
filch, fhort Character ick Notes, as whereby they may be cer- 
tainly known and difHnguifced from others of the fame kind. 
Firft of all, there is propofed the moft ex ad divifion of all 
Animals in- general, which- is firft into Sanguineous and Exan-

Laftly,The Viviparous are divided into Aquatic, or the Wba!e-

this kind are not Four-footed, there being one exception, viz*. 
The Manati or Sea cow, which hath but two Fe«t. But all of 
them without exception are hairy, and fo may be diftinguifh-
